Why you should say “NO!” to grout and tile.

Quarry tile and grout is the most traditional flooring for commercial kitchens. Over time tile begins to crack or becomes damaged due to wear and tear. Grout is porous and accumulates bacteria over time. According to the most recent research, there is more bacteria in a square inch of tile in a commercial kitchen than on a square inch of a toilet seat. There are nine different types of bacteria that are found in grout and tile floors that can cause illness. Small dirt particles and bacteria get lodged in the pores of the grout. Tile can lock in odors from your shoes, drinks, and food. Over time, this leaves your tile smelling with an odor that can’t be removed unless it’s done professionally.

No matter how much you clean the tile and grout it will still look dirty and worn down. The maintenance that is required for the upkeep of a tile and grout floor is expensive and time consuming. Over time, grout can break apart, leaving a crumbly mess that might also allow water to seep underneath and do some serious damage to your floor. Re-grouting is required to reseal and restore the appearance of tile and needs to be done at least every few years.

ZBoys Place 3rd in The Cape Epic Stage Race

(South Africa, March 2019) – The Cape Epic stage race is the toughest stage race in the World and attracts the best riders from all countries. This year has been no exception to that and the Zimmerman brothers have worked hard to be ready. The race is in South Africa and covers a span of 8 days, 390 miles of off road terrain, and 55,000 feet of climbing. The courses wind through many vineyards, rugged mountain roads and cover some of the most beautiful areas in South Africa.

The Zimmerman brothers, aka Zboys, started off the stage race strong with a 3rd place finish against both a former Olympian, Bert Brentjens (Netherlands) and his world renowned teammate Abraaoo Azevado (Brazil). Yesterday, day 3, was one of their strongest days where they finished 3rd place again, and stepped into 3rd place overall. There are over 2500 racers in the event this year making it the “Tour de France“ of mountain bike racing.

The Zboys are racing hard and continue to push their limits on a daily basis. After 19 hours of racing, they are still fighting hard for a highly sought after podium finish at the end of the race this Sunday.

Durability is always a factor when choosing a flooring material, however it is even more important for high traffic areas.

Depending on the demands of your space, you should choose a material that will hold up to the toughest conditions. Do not choose a material that has multiple layers or requires re-sealing or fails once top layer has eroded; do not choose anything with seams, joints or trip hazards or a material that is hard to clean or loses aesthetic appeal over time.

Epoxy aggregate flooring systems are one of the top rated commercial flooring options for high traffic areas. The epoxy coating prevents wear and tear due to abrasions, foot traffic and chemical spills. By choosing slip-resistant, seamless, and durable material installed in a single layer such as epoxy and quartz aggregate, high traffic areas will have a lasting solution with no required maintenance.

JetRock is strong enough to serve as the flooring in commercial and manufacturing facilities, as well as sanitary enough to use in kitchens and walk-in refrigerators.
